A distant relative?

A reader reminded us that last January we posted photos of a Great Blue Heron fishing near our rental home in Scottsdale. The migratory species has a wide range, and he wondered if yesterday's visitor could be the same one. That possibility is remote, of course, but we looked in the archives and, sure enough, here's what we found.
Whatever its origin, the Great Blue is one amazing snowbird.
